There is *much to be learned, just reading comments
offered to other list members re their Vanagon issues.
I always figure if it's not my problem *today, likely it
soon will be!
Remember that while p-mail has it's place, for socializing,
jesting, etc--it's good to offer those bits of mechanical
wisdom to the *whole list!

Take, for example, a p-mail I got today from Sharks,
suggesting that I ask my mechanic to loosen the fill plug
on the tranny, which can be difficult to do, *then drive
home & drain & fill my van with Redline--without the
possible resultant trauma.

My 2 cents,
